scope:

The purpose of this Military Standard is to define generic Performance Verification and Endurance Tests for Energy Monitoring and Control Systems (EMCS), Utility Monitor and Control Systems (UMCS) and Utility Control Systems (UCS). These tests are to be used to assure that the physical and performance requirements of guide specifications for EMCS are tested, and that the test results are adequately documented. The Government shall base certain contractual decisions on the results of these tests. The EMCS, UMCS or UCS systems will typically have different names for the various devices used. For example, computer based devices used in the field are referred to as FIDs, smart field panels, RTUs, RCUs, or other names. Regardless of what the devices are named, the appropriate tests should be performed.
